The RAND Corporation is a nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis. For nearly 60 years, decisionmakers in the public and private sectors have turned to the RAND Corporation for objective analysis and effective solutions that address the challenges facing the nation and the world. These challenges include such critical social and economic issues as education, poverty, crime, and the environment, as well as a range of national security issues. Today, RAND researchers and analysts continue to be on the cutting edge of their fields, working with decisionmakers in both the public and private sectors to find solutions to today's difficult, sensitive, and important problems. The high caliber of our researchers is well-known, as evidenced by the many Nobel Laureates who have been affiliated with the RAND, either as employees, consultants, or in an advisory capacity. Through our dedication to high-quality and objective research and analysis and with sophisticated analytical tools developed over many years, RAND engages clients to create knowledge, insight, information, options, and solutions that will be both effective and enduring.

• Creativity, innovation, and objectivity. Following in our established tradition of cutting-edge research, today's RAND values new ideas. Our findings are not dictated by our clients, our management, nor any partisan perspective; neither are our methods or approaches. Though we seek to improve policy and decisionmaking, we do so through formal analysis: the answers speak for themselves, often in path-breaking ways.

Boredom is never a threat. The biggest professional hazard is spreading oneself too thin across so many attractive opportunities. Intellectual curiosity runs rampant through our community, accounting for our rich collegial environment where interaction nurtures the creation, exchange, and development of ideas.

We are multidisciplinary, multicultural, multiracial, male and female, academic and applied, highly schooled and practically experienced. We come from all walks of life and from around the world -- and we use the knowledge we have acquired to enrich the content and meaning of our research.
• Quality. Quality is fundamental. Quality is what makes RAND ... RAND.
